What Is the ADI Standards Check?

The DVSA Standards Check is a key part of your ongoing registration as a driving instructor. It’s a formal assessment that measures your ability to deliver safe, effective, and structured driving lessons. During the check, you’ll be marked on three core competencies:

Lesson Planning

Risk Management

Teaching and Learning Strategies

You’ll be scored across 17 key competencies, and achieving a Grade A or B is essential for maintaining your ADI licence. At GSM, we break down each of these criteria and teach you how to meet them successfully through engaging, client-centred lessons.
